Recording & Production
Despite claiming to be a complete collection, two commercial recordings by Eric Coates are missing from this album.
Recording & Production
The tracks on this album are not in strict chronological order to provide a varied and enjoyable listening experience, rather than a purely analytical one.
Recording & Production
Acoustic recordings on this album are grouped at the end of CD 6, and the restoration aims to reveal as much detail as possible, even if it doesn't satisfy purists.
Album & Artwork
This album, 'The Definitive Eric Coates', aims to present all of Eric Coates's commercially released recordings from 1923 to 1957.
Recording & Production
The compilation of this album was inspired by Michael Payne's Ph.D. thesis, 'The Man Who Writes The Tunes', which was later published as a book on Eric Coates.
